Silver service from sprinter Gemili

Team England is celebrating after Adam Gemili took silver in the men's 100 metre Commonwealth Games final.

He came in second after Jamaican Kemar Bailey-Cole took advantage of the absence of his training partner Usain Bolt to power to victory at Hampden Park in Glasgow.

Bailey-Cole won in 10.00 seconds, with Gemili just edging out Nickel Ashmeade to take second in 10.10 seconds.

Gemili dropped to his knees on the track as the big screen confirmed he had dipped to cross the line 0.02 seconds ahead of Ashmeade.

He told BBC Sport: ''This is my first senior medal. I'm speechless. There's so much preparation that goes into running 10 seconds - my team put a lot of work in behind the scenes.

''I can't believe it, this is my first time representing England. I'm so happy.

''This is something I'm never going to forget. It's not about times today, it's positions because the times will come. Medals are what count and this is a stepping stone now for the Europeans, Worlds and then Rio in 2016.''

Gemili's win comes four years after Mark Lewis-Francis took silver at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi in 2010.

England now have 74 medals and are in second place behind Australia who have 87.

The Earl of Wessex watched the squash action but was mistakenly introduced as "Prince Andrew".

A BBC spokeswoman said: "Commentary of our squash coverage is provided by the world feed on behalf of the Glasgow 2014 organising committee. The commentators are experienced broadcasters who regularly commentate on this sport and mistaking Prince Edward for Prince Andrew was a genuine mistake and no offence was intended."
